It is very amusing BJP led by L.K. Advani has released this installment of political manifesto that is assembly of vague hotch potch ideas when actually BJP was in power at center for six years and in many large states before and after 2004 loss there had enough opportunities to implement them. Was BJP in Bihar where it has Sushil Modi serving as Deputy Chief Minister was "IT Disabled" when due to negligence of Bihar Government Kosi Embankment was not repaired that led to catastrophic floods rendering millions homeless inspite of Rs.14,000 crores 2008-09 budget? When LKA was Deputy PM, Budget for Bihar was around Rs.2500 crores not enough to pay for salaries to all public servants. I mailed at least 100 petitions when he was Deputy PM cum Home Minister but he never acknowledged them even as President of India both Narayanan and Kalam acknowledged them and forwarded many to him also. Nepal Irrigation Minister directly indicted Nitish Government for corrupt practices in sharing the public funds led to failure in maintaining embankments and Kosi Breach that released catastrophic floods. - It was BJP policies that led to privatization of education and school and college fees reached astronomical levels. As per my rough estimate educating a person through schools and colleges runs to Rs.10,00,000 to Rs.20,00,000. How cheap Rs.10,000 lap top will benefit students? - Reliance, Airtel, BSNL and Tata laid optical fiber lines in Delhi by 2002 when BJP led NDA was ruling India. Due to NDA eccentric policies all of them dug up Delhi streets one by one but even seven years later there is very little penetration in Delhi itself and network grossly underutilized and very costly. - 50% of schools have no access to power; don't own proper building & blackboard. How broadband will help? - When 60% of population is underfed L.D. Advani promises 100 crore mobile phones and equal number of internet subscribers in five years this implies a person may not have job & food to eat or computer but will have mobile phone and internet connection. Actually this means a newborn even before he get first breast feed he will have a mobile and broadband connection. - His Telemedicine Proposal will not require any doctors at primary health centers, medicines and nurses, this his way of addressing acute shortage or absenteeism of doctors, nurses and medicines in PHC. - India slipped in HDI during his six year tenure. - Everyone will be using IT in five years obviously when everyone has mobile and internet connection. - Rs. 14,000 crores approved as budget was held up at Patna and not a paisa spent on maintaining Kosi Embankment. - When 1 billion people have broad band and VOIP than why over 1 billion mostly poor also need mobile phones.
